If
you are in New York, there’s a terrific show opening tonight at Riviera in
Brooklyn. Curated by Jordin Isip the show brings togeterh work by AJ Fosik and
Monster Project. It opens tonight and runs through January. 30, 2004.

/>Here’s some info on the artists:

AJ FOSIK : AJ Fosik is originally
from Detroit, now hailing from Brooklyn. He combines images and iconography
carefully collected and scavenged from past traditions both real and fabricated
which are interpreted and woven together to create a trenchant body of work that
is equal parts signage, folly and hard luck story.

MONSTER PROJECT :
Monster Project looks to give a face to the cannibalism of urban life, a face to
that which is always eating itself, a face to that which is our Cities. Monster
Project seeks to highlight the unnoticed, to find the forgotten. Monster Project
is about pointing out what is already here around us with the hope that it may
encourage the act of looking around. Monster Project looks to inspire the act of
taking a moment to stop and to see again. Monster Project is about noticing the
beauty that naturally happens in these places we call City. Over the past four
years, the Monster Project team has created site-specific installations focusing
on forgotten corners. Often requiring extensive planning and late night
execution, each piece becomes a story, each installation and adventure. No two
are exactly the same, as no two locations are ever identical. Conceived in
Providence, Rhode Island in November of 2000, Monsters have feasted on
Providence, Boston, New York and Rome, Italy.

The opening night
reception is tonight, Thursday, January. 13, 7 to 10pm
